Superoxide dismutase
Description
Mammalian superoxide dismutase (SOD) exists in three forms, of which the Mn-SOD occurs in mitochondria (mtSOD, SOD2; 93 kD homotetramer) and many bacteria, in contrast to the Cu-Zn forms of SOD (cytosolic SOD1, extracellular SOD3 anchored to the extracellular matrix and cell surface). Superoxide anion (O2•-) is a major reactive oxygen species (ROS) which is dismutated by SOD to oxygen and H2O2.
Abbreviation: SOD

Application in HRFR
- Add SOD for conversion of O2•- and measurement of H2O2 with Amplex ultrared.
- SOD: Superoxide dismutase from bovine liver, Sigma S8409, 15 KU, store at -20°C; MW = 32.000,00 g/mol
- Preparation of 5000 U/ml stock solution (dissolved in H2O):
- Preparation
- Weigh 2 mg of superoxide dismutase.
